在来自几个大陆的蝙蝠中发现了多种冠状病毒，但在非洲却没有发现。我们在肯尼亚的蝙蝠中发现了 1 组和 2 组冠状病毒，包括与 SARS 相关的冠状病毒。序列多样性表明，蝙蝠是包括人类在内的许多物种的冠状病毒的既定宿主和可能的来源。
Diverse coronaviruses have been identified in bats from several continents but not from Africa. We identified group 1 and 2 coronaviruses in bats in Kenya, including SARS-related coronaviruses. The sequence diversity suggests that bats are well-established reservoirs for and likely sources of coronaviruses for many species, including humans.
